UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Magenta Living commissioned tax advisory services for its finance team. The requirement covers tax consultancy services, including support for the organisation’s finance-related tax needs, with work delivered in the United Kingdom. Magenta Living is a public undertaking based in Birkenhead. The appointed provider is KPMG LLP, a large professional services firm based in London. This is a services procurement rather than a goods or construction requirement, and is relevant to tax advisers, accountancy practices and professional services firms with the expertise to advise a UK public-sector housing organisation. The services are intended to be called off as specific requirements arise, rather than delivered as a fixed annual programme.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Magenta Living used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, covering the tax advisory services, and KPMG LLP was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 10 June 2026 and runs from 10 June 2026 to 4 June 2031. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The arrangement provides for work to be called off when required, with no set amount of work per year. The tender is recorded as complete, while the award and contract are active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Magenta Living for external tax consultancy supporting its finance team. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be tax advisory or accountancy firms able to provide responsive advice on individual assignments rather than relying on a predetermined annual workload. Credibility would come from demonstrable UK tax expertise, experience advising organisations with public-sector responsibilities, and the capacity to handle call-off work over a multi-year relationship. Firms should also be able to work effectively with an in-house finance team, provide clear written advice and respond when specific tax issues arise. The incumbent’s selection shows that established professional services providers can be considered for this type of finance-facing advisory role.
